Five Question Fri/Sat.

Well I am bored watching a poker game, so I thought I'd do the 5 question Friday (well Saturday technically, since it is 1:55 am haha)


1.
If you could go back to college would you change your major? Or, if you were to go to college right now...what major would you choose?
Sometimes I would like to go back and choose either dance or interior design as my major. I love dance and would love to do it all the time. I also love watching all the design shows on HGTV, and think that would be fun! But, I don't really find those very practical in real life, so I am happy about my major that I did choose! I could have chose dance as a minor but I think special-ed non-teaching will be more beneficial for me as a SLP! :)

2. What do you love most about your home?
Although I don't spend a lot of time at my home (Dad's house) because I'm usually at Sterling's or my Mom's, I do love love love my bed. It is like the most comfortable thing ever! I also like having my Dad to talk to, he's probably one of the easiest people I can talk to, so I like having him there to chat.

3. What types of books do you like to read (if you like to read at all)?
I would love if I read really thought provoking books, but nah, I don't seem to like anything to do with them! Of course, I love the Twilight Saga, and all Nicholas Sparks books. I don't really like to read that much.

4. What is the grossest thing you've ever eaten?
Probably sushi. I was bet once to try sushi in return for 2 new shirts, and I took the bet, but had to end up throwing up the sushi in the bathroom I hated it so much!

5. If you HAD to be a character on a TV show, whom would you be?
Easy. I would be Pam Beasley from The Office. I would love to be married to Jim Halpert and to have his baby! They have the best tv romance in my opinion, and he is definitely easy on the eyes :)

Bored + new sandals.

Today has not been unlike any other day for the past 4 weeks. I had 5 weeks off before my summer job starts, and they are flying by! I love my days off doing whatever and I know I don't get this chance very often but I am kinda ready to get back to work, boredom is taking over! I love camp, seeing the kids, being bff's with the staff for the summer, and getting that paycheck! I wouldn't mind if camp started next week, but oh well, I will enjoy one more week off!


I told myself that I would do no more shopping with my graduation money, but I just couldn't pass up these sandals. A friend was talking about these Jack Rogers sandals the other day, and I knew I have seen people wearing them, but didn't know who made them. So I checked them out and tried them on downtown at that 310 Rosemont shop and liked them but I could not bring myself to pay $100 for them! So being the bargain shopper I am, I googled knock off Jack Rogers online and saw that Target carries the knock off and they look pretty much the same! Plus they are only $15. So what did I do? Got 2 pair! One in brown, and one in platinum. They are only available online, so you have to pay shipping, but still save a lot from the original brand. I just love finding bargains, deals, and steals! Here are what they look like:



These are the $100 Jack Rogers pair:


These are the $15 pair. They are not leather and look a little different but still look enough alike:

So, that is my shopping 2 cents for today. And after these sandals, I will do NO more graduation money shopping. :) Tonight, I think Sterling and I are going to join the Green Ridge gym. We've been wanting to join since I have got home from school, but have never made it out there for one reason or another. I am excited to have a gym to go to, and to get back into classes and a work out routine. I plan to go everyday next week while I am off of work. So, we'll see how that goes!

Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanks for reading,

Kate

Favorite Pictures

For graduation, my mom and stepdad, Butch, gave me a new Nikon D3000 camera. I LOVE taking pictures with it and seeing the quality pictures it produces. There is still a lot I need to learn about the camera and photography, but for now I'm just pointing and shooting. I thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures I've taken so far.
Under the pier at Myrtle Beach.
Me and Scruffy.My cat on the porch.

My family at Myrtle Beach.
For my current project, I am trying to find objects-any object-that looks like a letter. I want to eventually be able to spell words with the letters and each picture will be in b&w. I have seen someone do it and each picture cost $8, so my name would have been $40! So I thought, heck, I'll try to find the letters myself. My vision for this picture was a "U" maybe? thoughts? ha.
I saw this as a "S". It needs to be cropped though.Life through a new lens. Love it!
